HI everyone !!! I finally passed the Teas test and I am schedule for classes June 2. We do trimesters at my school so I am looking for any tips or things ( supplies) done before classes start. Are there any things that you found that you needed and had to rush out and get ( I already have a stock of note cards...lol), or was there something you wish you had more organized?

I hope I am asking this right. I am just wanting to try and have everything set before classes start since we our classes are only 10 weeks long. I know its gonna be crazy but I am sooooo ready for it !!!

all advice, tips, suggestions greatly appreciated.

thanks in advanced

At my school, our classes are only 8 weeks long... It is very demanding. Stay on top of things! Don't get behind because it is hard to catch up, being that our classes are cut in half. Get a good planner... I use my iPad so I get loud notifications as reminders. Notecards are good, use those to study on the go. Congrats and good luck!

Thanks-- After my mom went into kidney failure last year I have had to keep a calendar for all her appointments-- I am looking for a computer calendar that will alert on my desktop on assignments or appts---- I know you use the ipad-- I have an android tablet, linux desktop computer and then my laptop is windows--- do you have any suggestions ? Or is there any apps that helped you ?

What about the calendar on your cell phone? (Assuming you have one.) It can be a great resource for organization. One of my classes uses software that has an app, I downloaded it right to my phone. Now I can just check grades and upcoming assignments instantly for that particular class. All my reminders and calendar appointments have loud alerts and I have my phone 24/7 so I always have access to my schedule and can make changes on the go.

I use Cozi Gold for class schedules and appts. I also just ordered an uncalendar to use for assignments and due dates.
